Young John Lewis

book & lyrics By psalmayene 24

Music by Eugene H. Russell IV

DIRECTED BY Reginald L. Douglas

March 26-April 26, 2025 

It’s time to make some Good Trouble! In this new hip-hop and soul musical, Mosaic’s Playwright-in-Residence Psalmayene 24 and acclaimed composer Eugene H. Russell IV honor the legendary “Conscience of Congress”: the late Congressman John Lewis.

Focusing on the Congressman’s formative years of ages 18-28, Young John Lewis reveals the humanity and heart of this mighty historic figure. The musical explores how the murder of Emmett Till motivated Lewis to pursue a life of service, including leading the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, fighting for Civil Rights with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and working for nearly two decades in Congress.

A theatrical event not to be missed, Young John Lewis is both a galvanizing call to action and an inspiring reminder that we can all make a difference, no matter our age.
